No offline MyCareer, no buy.
This should be a thing, just like no disc, no buy is for Sony. There's no reason for MyCareer to be online only just to be rendered unplayable in a few years time.

We teamed up with Congressman Frost and huge Streamer LilSimsie to keep the pressure on EA
Its cool to see a Gamer congressmember actually take action against this corrupt deal with the gaming community and using his powers on the oversight committee
The EA deal has been finalized but, just like with the CFB, gamers can push back on any new anti-gamer actions

Players Alliance HQ Response to EU Commission approval of EA Buyout
STATEMENT: Gamers Say EU Approval Leaves Real Risks of EA Deal Unanswered
Today, Reuters reported that the European Commission (EC) is expected to approve the proposed $55 billion acquisition of Electronic Arts (EA) by a consortium led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) under the European Union's (EU) foreign subsidy rules. According to Reuters, the EC is expected to clear the transaction following a preliminary review under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation and is also expected to grant unconditional approval under EU merger rules. In response to the reported decision, Players Alliance HQ leader Charlie Wilson issued the following statement:
“The European Commission's review answered a narrow legal question about competition and foreign subsidies. It did not answer whether loading EA with billions in debt under private equity ownership is good for game developers, gamers, or the future of the industry. Players Alliance HQ will continue organizing against this deal because EA’s attempt to force College Football 27 players to pay microtransactions to progress through single player modes is exactly the kind of exploitative monetization it will use to service the $20 billion in debt created by the buyout.”

Glad I didn't preorder the bundle this year. Predatory AF of EA to do that. #CFBPlayNotPay
